The package Xserver-xorg-core-lts-raring needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find and archive for it.
Installation seemed to go fine. When I went to process numerous updates, 400+ I got the error message above. I can log in and do a few basic tasks but cannot update or download anything. How do you get past this?
